Ingredients
Semolina porridge
- 625 ml milk (2½ cups)
- 120 gm honey (1/3 cup)
- 1 orange, rind finely grated
- 50 gm semolina
- 20 gm butter
- To serve: shelled pistachios
Candied cumquats
- 160 gm cumquats, halved lengthways, seeds removed
- 220 gm caster sugar (1 cup)
- 1 tsp finely grated ginger
Method
Main
- 1For candied cumquats, place cumquats in a heatproof bowl, cover with boiling water and stand until cool. Drain and repeat twice more. Combine sugar, ginger and 1¼ cups water in a saucepan and stir over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves. Add cumquats, bring to the boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 40-45 minutes or until fruit is translucent and liquid is syrupy. Candied cumquats can be made ahead and will keep, stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, for up to 3 months.
- 2Combine milk, honey and rind in a heavy-based saucepan and bring just to the boil over medium heat. Add semolina in a steady stream, and cook, stirring continuously, for 5-6 minutes or until thick and bubbling. Add butter, stir to combine, then divide among bowls, spoon over cumquats and syrup, scatter with pistachios and serve immediately.
